“…Although still an understudied aspect of right-wing extremism, existing literature (mostly focusing on political parties, e.g., Bar-On, 2011;Hooghe, Marks, & Wilson, 2002) agrees that the opposition to transnational politics (e.g., to European integration as a regional form of transnationalization) is a common trait of these formations. Our European groups confirm the existence of a remarkable interest in transnational politics among extreme right organizations, taking the form of Euro-sceptic sentiments.…”

Like many other political actors, the extreme right is currently expanding beyond national borders, and, as with any civil society organization, the Internet is assuming a growing role in achieving this goal. To date, however, this topic is understudied. In this article, aiming to empirically filling this gap, we shall explore the new tactics of the extreme right in Europe and the USA in the context of transnational politics. Namely, we investigate the degree and forms of extreme right transnationalization (in terms of mobilization, issues, targets, action strategies, and organizational contacts) and the potential role of the Internet in these developments. The analysis combines qualitative and quantitative data derived from 54 interviews with representatives of extreme right organizations in six European countries (Austria, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, and Spain) and the USA with a formalized Web content analysis of 336 right-wing websites. We will compare different types of right-wing groups which compose the radical right family (from political parties to associations), underlining the main differences and similarities across groups and across countries.

“…This looks like the new frontier (i.e. cross-and transnationalization of organizations, ideas and mobilization) of radical right movements (Bar-On, 2011;Caiani, 2014Caiani, , 2018aDurham and Power, 2010;Hafez, 2014;Mammone et al, 2012;on the East, Mareš, 2010). Transnational ties with other radical right organizations in other countries are considered to play an important role in the success of right-wing radicalism in Europe, due to 'transnational processes of exchange and learning' (Langenbacher and Schellenberg, 2011: 22).…”

This article reviews the scholarship on radical right movements in Europe. It focuses on three strands of this literature: first, the macro-level contextual opportunities-based explanations for the fortunes of these movements; second, internal supply-side approaches, referring to the internal organizational resources – leadership, communication and propaganda – that support the mobilization; and third, the individual (micro-level) factors of the emergence and the rise of radical right movements. The goal is to shed light on all these different approaches to explain the ‘Who’, ‘When’, ‘How’ and ‘Why’ of the emergence and (violent) mobilization of radical right groups, using empirical evidence drawn from various case studies in Western, Eastern and Central Europe. This is a topic often neglected in the academic literature on the radical right, which still focuses mainly on political parties and elections. The article concludes by discussing possible future directions for radical right movement research, including the transnationalization of the radical right, the usage of the Internet and radical right ‘movement parties’.

“…However, Kyriakos Mitsotakis soon revived the party's far-right tradition by nominating Makis Voridis and Antonis Georgiadis as spokesmen for the party and cultivating polarisation and ideological enmity between right and left (Boukala, 2021). Security became the main issue of his po-3 By the concept of nouvelle droite I refer to the French intellectual movement that developed in the late 1960s, which shaped the ideological roots of the extreme right and was created in opposition to the political heritage of the left (Bar-On, 2011).…”

This article advances research on the normalisation of far-right rhetoric on the “migration issue” by analysing statements from the current Greek prime minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, and the ruling political party New Democracy political figures. Having presented the discourse-historical approach (DHA) from critical discourse studies (CDS) as a suitable theory and method of analysis of political discourses, I use an argumentative-based DHA approach and add the argumentative schemes of Aristotelian topoi and fallacies to explore how the leadership of the conservative New Democracy government adopted far-right rhetoric on the refugee issue to justify its tough political agenda on security, law, and order. In particular, I focus on the representation of migration as a threat to national security and public health, the politics of hate, and theories of securitisation via an in-depth analysis of the current and former prime ministers’ discourses, the former government spokesman’s statement on the refugee issue and a popular journalist and New Democracy’s MP television interview, and intend to illustrate how extreme right rhetoric could serve the conservative New Democracy’s political strategies.
